The buzz is real among Pokémon TCG enthusiasts as news of a fresh set titled “Inferno X” has made its way out into the world even before its official debut slated for fall 2025. With whispers of a release as early as October, this new set promises to rekindle the excitement around Mega Evolutions from the Pokémon X & Y era on the Nintendo 3DS, as suggested by a newly filed trademark that’s turning heads in the community.
Looking ahead to 2025, it’s clear that Pokémon TCG fans are in for another electrifying year packed with exciting releases. Among these, the “Destined Rivals” expansion, boasting over 240 cards, is set to make its grand entry in May. Meanwhile, players can gear up for the Black Bolt and White Flare sets coming this summer, with June likely marked on their calendars. In yet another thrilling development, a new Mega Evolution set is rumored to be arriving by the end of the year in Japan, promising to shake things up even further.
Word has it, as uncovered by PokeBeach, that The Pokémon Company has filed a new trademark for “Inferno X” in Japan, hinting at an impending Pokémon TCG set. If the leaks about the Japanese release timeline are accurate, we could see the Inferno X set emerge around October or November, showcasing classic Mega Evolution cards like the ever-popular Mega Charizard X. Though trademarks often drop six to nine months before the corresponding products hit the shelves, their release order can vary, leaving us all guessing until official dates are announced by The Pokémon Company.
During the Pokémon Presents showcase on February 27, fans were treated to the announcement of the Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia sets, set to launch in August. These sets will feature Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir, paving the way as the first Mega Evolution sets for the year. As Pokémon builds anticipation for the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A on Nintendo Switch, the inclusion of Mega Charizard is highly anticipated, considering its iconic status and the spotlight it’s bound to garner in the upcoming TCG collections.
As for fans outside Japan, the release schedule for these Mega Evolution sets remains under wraps for now. Nonetheless, The Pokémon Company has assured that both Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia will see a global release in 2025. They’re also stepping up their production game, aiming to meet the high demand and keep the shelves stocked. Plus, fans can look forward to seeing more of their favorite previously released Pokémon TCG products available online and at retailers like GameStop.
It’s an exciting time to be a part of the Pokémon TCG community as new horizons and thrilling battles await!
